Jabong's IOFW Auditions - Backstage Buzz

Hi Friends,

Few days back, I participated in Jabong.com's IOFW Fantastic Blogger Contest with slightly trembling self-confidence ... but with my stars smiling at me, I got selected among top 20 lucky bloggers who got the golden opportunity to cover this innovative Talent Hunt happening in our very own country i.e. India Online Fashion Week 2014 :)

Jabong.com together with Talenthouse India conceived this unique
concept of organizing a Shopable Fashion Show that has never been witnessed in Indian Fashion history yet and got the idea broadcasted in every corner of the country with media partners like NDTV Good Times and 92.7 BIG FM.

Sponsors and Media Partners

So I take this privilege to share the backstage happenings during auditions with you all to enjoy the show minutely and closely...As the news for IOFW came alive in the month of May/June, the entries for all 5 categories (Models, Photographers, Designers, Hair Stylists and Makeup Artists) poured in large numbers.

Press Launch

The auditions on Day 1 kick started with the models and photographers auditions on 1 July, 2014 at Chhatarpur, New Delhi.

The panel of venerated jury including some notable names from the fashion industry took the responsibility to shortlist the best of participants in every genre and brought alive the creative prowess showcased to them...

Photography, the art of communicating a fact in the mesmerizing manner to leave the viewers spell bound, always fascinates me more than anything. Hence, I got myself engrossed deeper into the genre...and wow, look at the marvel memory of the auditions..

Hats off to the winning talent sailing over the pool of hundreds of upcoming skilled enthusiasts and making it possible to make a place for themselves in the heart of Jury after weeks of gruelling selection process :)
